what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"Shadow Puppets" is movie that has a great cast and a great premise! The biggest problem with this movie that it isn't thrilling! Not one moment you get scared! The ghost isn't threatening enough! The shadow ghost is an interesting concept! It is too bad that they didn't use this idea to it's full potential! But this is a problem the whole movie has! The lack of ambiance! It should be key in a movie like this! It could have been overlooked if they had put in some wonderful twist that would have explained the ghost and actually showed how this ghost was created! We do get some explanation on the situation! But by the time we do you couldn't care less because you were bored to death! The predictable story and the lack of thrills make this a movie that is not worth watching !

Could have been great, writing and directing destroyed this movie.Oh, I need to bring the network up to turn the power off... What's a network asks the writer? Someone break out the dictionary... a network is two or more computers says dictionary. So we have to wait until the second computer is running to bring that little network up, to turn the power off? Whats the function of that second computer? The writer should have consulted with at least one technical person. Idiot.Where is the front door of this hospital? Is this the worst sunrise scene ever filmed? Unfortunately, the first 15 minutes of the film were incredible, but dies a fast death from there.

It is the actors and director voting 10 for themselves giving the movie a good rating to make it sell better. Notice that when a really bad film gets good reviews (around 7-10 in rating) it always have a lot of good comments about the "actors" in it. This movie is nothing but a ripoff, mastery of bad acting and a script who makes you wanna scream in agony. The parallels between Cube is so clear it is sad. Also, compare the plot summary with the film Unknown (2006) and you'll be surprised (or maybe not). If I was a part of this movie I would see the result as a complete failure and quit my job. Voting 10 for your own mistake is nothing but pure scam. These persons should be ashamed. I am, for their miserable sake.

Don't waist your time.I believe the writer, after seeing cube and saw, decided he would write and direct something similar. And to make things more interesting, would add some ghost stuff. Well i believe this idea sucks on its own (you don't just decide to "hey, Godfather was a hit, I think I'll make something likewise", and then start writing a story), but what makes this even worse is that Micheal (the writer) has no creativity. The story is dull and dumb. Period.Suspense, yeah, for the first 10mins, cause you have to wonder whats going on. But once you are made to understand, you go "Oh my god,.... is that it???" and turn off the movie.Its not exiting, its not trilling, and its definitely not worth any ones time.
